Colored Runs for the Win!


A new and popular fitness activity that is gaining popularity throughout the United States is the Color Run. From Run or Dye, to The Color Run the name basically says EXACTLY what it is. A color run is a 5k fun walk/run. Now you are probably thinking to yourself, what is the catch? There is the word, “color,” in the name, what is the deal with that? Throughout the 5k there are different stations of different colored powdered dyes that volunteers throw on you! If you want to get more color you can slow down at the stations!
Hearing all of this hype about colored runs, I needed to go see what it was all about. Going to DC this weekend, my sisters and I participated in the Run or Dye 5k.  It was so much fun, and we got completely covered with color! However, it was pretty disorganized and we waited over two hours in line just to check in! Other then that, it was more of a walk because everyone was enjoying getting covered in colored dye, and there were only a few runners out there! My recommendation is that if you go to ANY color run, to expect to get very colored, and if you do not like to get dirty then don’t go! It was more of a fun walk then serious run, with families participating in it, and people dressing up! Overall, I think that everyone should participate in one at least once in their lifetime with families and friends! 


Stay Positive. Be Original.
